RIB charter Weymouth

Does anyone know any reasonably priced bareboat RIB charter companies in Weymouth? Needs to be coded as I am looking to hire for potentially 2 weeks in the summer to do some work in the bay. Looking for something 7m+ with decent electronics (plotter/sounder) that can comfortably seat 4 people and take a load of gear. Daylight operation only. I'm just trying to get an idea of prices to see if it's more economical than bringing our own boat.

Thanks

I don't know offhand without online research, but I would be surprised if chartering a rib big enough for your needs would be cheaper than taking your own and only paying for launch / recovery at a slipway.

We need to factor in parking for the trailer, overnight berthing fees etc too, but I suspect you're right. I just wanted to get an idea. if the prices aren't too dissimilar I would still be interested in chartering as it makes things much easier for us logistically

I know Mike at Apollo and his boats. Nice chap, does a lot of work around Portland Marina so they'll be decent boats.

p.s. I have no attachment to the business
